laimewhisps··on In wake of CEO shooting, Amazon creates Executive Protection role

laimewhisps··on In wake of CEO shooting, Amazon creates Executive Protection role
I'm not in a filter bubble but I have seen many, completely opposing communities support this murder. On my town's FB tons of "regular" people are very enthusiastic about it.

They printed "defend", "deny", "depose" on the bullets so it's reasonable to assume that was the motive.

When the state's monopoly on violence doesn't protect people, people will find a way to protect themselves.

This is why CEO pay transparency is so important!

He was killing people though, and if his death stops that, it's a net positive. His life is not worth more than the thousands he has ended for personal profit.
